Favorite memory: "Dude, you've got to come over to the record store!"

I end up standing in between Bruford, Wetton, Jobson as the store blasts the brand new record, followed by KC's Red. Where's Allan? "He doesn't do these things."

Later that night, front row table at the Kingfish in Baton Rouge where I stared, slack jawed, at Bruford.
Being a keyboardist, I'd planted myself in front of Jobson - but it was Billy B all the way.

PFM - Impressioni Di Settembre

Headphones on, listening to Tales From Topographic Oceans for probably the first time since high school. I know this is too much for even some Prog-Rock fans; but I've got full-body goosebumps. 

This week's Reason podcast is dedicated to a conversation with David Weigel, author of The Show That Never Ends: The Rise and Fall of Prog Rock.

Yeah, there's some politics in it, but not much. They were obviously having fun talking about music.

Dammit!  I just shelled out for the remaster of Seconds Out...

Thanks for the tip though.  Between that and the PF box set I have a lot of ripping to do!

I've only read a couple of entries so far.
